Raphael held Calla's tightly as they made their way back California.
Calla didn't fight him on it when he told her they were coming back home with them. After all Arlo needs his father.
Calla's eyes shot down to her baby boys carseat when she heard him whimper softly. But before she could go and reach for him, Raphael pulled the car over, and reached back to grab his son put of his carseat.
For like the 4th time today, Calla's eyes heart melted as she watched the big buff man cuddle their son to him. She knew she made the right decision to come back with him.
***********************************
After the 16 hour drive back to Cali, Calla stretched and immediately went to open the back door to grab Arlo. She picked him up out of his carseat cooing softly to him when he started to whine.
Raphael grabbed their bags and led his family into the huge house. He chuckled lightly to himself as he watched Calla's expression to the chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
"It's beautiful" She breathed out walking towards the stairs. Raphael put his free arm around Calla and began walking up the stairs. Once they climbed the two flights of stairs, he pushed open one of the many doors in the long hallway.
"This is going to be Arlo's room" He said relieved that he called in advance for a nursery to be built. He gently picked up Arlo and put him in the large crib that was sitting up against the wall.
Calla gasped as she ran her fingers along the wall that had a beautiful mural of the rainforest on it. How was she supposed to stay mad at him when he did sweet stuff like this?
Once Arlo was settled into his new crib, Raphael grabbed Calla's hand and led her to the bedroom right next to it. "This is our room".
Our room?
"And who said I was going to share a room with you" Calla said crossing her arms at him. She rolled her eyes when he didn't answer and grabbed her bag walking out of the room.
Before she could get too far a large warm hand grabbed her wrist and yanked her back in. "Let me go you overgrown ogre" She said trying to wiggle out of his grip. He just held on tighter and pulled her closer.
Calla's breath caught in her throat as he started leaning in towards her. But before anything could happen a cry sounded from Arlo's room.
Saved by the baby.
"He needs to be fed" Calla whispered, kissing his forehead. She waited for Raphael to leave the room. He didn't.
"Get out"."No".
No?
She muttered curse words under her breath and grabbed one of the light blue blankets sitting in the dresser. Sitting down, she pulled out her breast and began to feed Arlo.( I felt weird as hell writing that😂)
Raphael watched intently, not sexually but in curiosity as she fed their sun. He watched in pride as his son finished and let out a giant belch.
'That's my boy' He thought proudly.
He felt his eyes water as he watched his beautiful woman, cuddle their son into her chest.
***********************************
Calla set Arlo back down into his crib and turned around to look at Raphael.
Her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed the big beautiful man was crying. Cautiously she approached him, got up on her tiptoes, and pulled him down for a hug.He dropped down to his knees and muttered 'thank you so much' over and over into Calla's neck. Calla ran her fingers through his thick, midnight black hair, and whispered comforting words into his ear.
She decided that she forgave him for leaving her all alone after they had slept together, but she still wanted to hear an explanation.
After Raphael had calmed down, he stood up and pulled Calla up with him. He stared into her beautiful grey eyes.
"Please forgive me" He whispered looking down at her. Never again would he leave his queen in bed after they made love.
Calla reached up to his handsome face , pulled him down and smashed her lips to his. After a few minutes of making out, he pulled away confused.
"I forgive you" She said staring into his obsidian eyes. She giggled as he picked her up and hugged her tight.
He shushed her and led her back to their bedroom. She immediately walked to the bed and laid down not even caring that they were sharing a room anymore.
Raphael settled into bed next to her and pulled her towards him. Calla cuddled back into him, smiling, and closing her eyes.
